If so, read on, as we're looking for a Legal Counsel to join our Legal team! Our mission? To switch up the status quo and become the UK's leading out-of-home business. With a fast-growing network of thousands of smart lockers, hundreds of leading retail partners and the launch of our InPost collection points, we're bringing freedom to anyone with a parcel. On our path to transforming e-commerce delivery in the UK, we're building an unparalleled group of talent that's hungry to help us disrupt the industry (find our 2023 annual report here). Our team is packed full of top-notch experts in e-commerce, technology, scale-up growth, sustainability, logistics and supply-chain. We're a passionate bunch and expectations are high, but we're team players - collaborating, supporting, and leaving egos at the door. About the role InPost is looking for a talented lawyer to join our expanding Legal team. Reporting to our General Counsel and in partnership with our Senior Legal Counsel, you'll have the autonomy and responsibility to support strategic business growth and engage with a wide range of complex business initiatives in a rapidly evolving industry. Working as part of a lean in house team you'll have great exposure and genuine support, along with the autonomy to make decisions and advise your stakeholder group. As a lawyer at InPost UK, work is highly varied. While your primary focus will be supporting our commercial functions to drive business growth, you will also collaborate with other core functions, such as marketing, finance and logistics. What you'll be doing:

• Contract Delivery: Review, draft and negotiate key commercial contracts across retail partners, suppliers and our locker estate network
• Business Partnering: Provide clear and practical commercial and contract advice across all levels of the business, particularly with our commercial, marketing and logistics teams
• Litigation and Compliance: Support with general claims and litigation management while managing business compliance day-to-day
• Continuous Improvement: Critically review, refine and update precedents library and playbooks
• Innovation Support: Partner with the wider legal team offering advice on new product design and launches
• Regulatory Foresight: Stay ahead of legal and regulatory developments to ensure InPost is well-prepared for the future
  
  Legal Expertise: You're a qualified lawyer with excellent academic credentials, qualified in England and Wales or another common law jurisdiction with around 3 years' PQE having trained with a reputable law firm; in house experience is advantageous
• Commercial Acumen: You blend deep legal knowledge with a solid understanding of business dynamics, always looking to align legal outcomes with commercial objectives
• Contract Delivery: Stellar drafting skills and experience negotiating commercial contracts
• Stakeholder Management: Experience partnering with commercial teams at all levels of seniority, with the ability to distil complex legal issues into clear and actionable business advice
• Resilience and Adaptability: You can navigate ambiguity with a cool head, have a high level of accountability and approach working in an ever-changing environment with humour and determination
The successful candidate must demonstrate strong attention to detail as well as stellar drafting skills. You will be a strong negotiator of commercial contracts and able to balance legal risk whilst at the same time support and drive the commercial needs of the business. You should be comfortable working in a fast paced, growing and dynamic business and able to expertly navigate ambiguity and change with good humour and resilience. We're looking for people who are ready for a fast paced environment, get their kicks out of problem solving and can balance getting today's stuff done, whilst building for the future. We're looking for people with drive and natural curiosity - who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly.
